The Fortune Teller Around Chareon Nakhon

I went to see a fortune teller this past Saturday and I’ve got to say that it was quite weird. It was weird in the sense that some of the stuff she said was right on. But I also found it weird that there were some things she specifically said to me, but not to my friend, who also came from a similar background like me (e.g. studying in an international school, speaking fluent English, etc). I guess I wondered why she chose to say these things to me, and not her, and I wondered whether these things actually showed up in her readings. It was 300 baht and I thought it was worth the money as she spent more than an hour with me. For the first half hour she did some calculations with my birth date, and then for the next half hour she used tarot cards for specific questions. I think it's a lot more detailed than the one I went to last year around Tha Prajan as that one was a very basic card reading for 3 months ahead. My friends at work gave her a 70-80% accuracy rating. I think I would give her around the same.

Anyway, here’s a summary of what she said (and which parts I found weird):

- I have a lot of luck in terms of money and wealth (if I care or pay more attention to it). She said that I have a really high potential of winning the lottery until I’m 31. If I don’t make money from the lottery, then it will be from work or investments. However, she suggested that I start investing next year because I won’t get 100% returns if I start now.

- My luck (in money) began when I hit 26 (I found this weird because I started working at my current job then and I often wonder if this is related) and will continue to grow. She said that I will be able to make money all the time.

- *** Weird part. She said that when I was 18-25, I faced quite a number of problems (I think this was pretty true considering I felt pretty lost and confused bout my “self” throughout college and things didn’t improve until I hit 26 and towards the end of the year). However, she said, if I studied abroad during that time, I would overcome this and I would graduate with ease. (It’s weird because I wasn’t in Thailand when I was 18-25) She said that if I studied in Thailand things would have been terrible.

- I will get inheritance. If not from my parents, then from my partner, or partner’s relative.

- My partner will be a foreigner (and a good looking one also!). She said that a good looking partner will increase and boost my fortune. She said that my partner will be from the media industry or somebody working behind the scenes (e.g. an actor, singer, photographer, graphic person, etc). However, my partner will have health problems (allergies or trouble with walking).

- She suggested that I not buy empty land because I won’t be able to sell it. She suggested I buy gold or to just keep my money.

- *** Weird part. If I buy a car, I will be in some small accidents (this is true as I was in a small accident that dented the back of my car last year, and I’m always getting scratches here and there. Just this morning I ran over the sidewalk when I was turning!)

- I will make a lot of money. She said that I should always work for foreigners or for international companies/organizations. It doesn’t matter whether I’m working abroad or domestically, as long as it’s foreign. However, if I want to start my own business and do something similar to what I’m doing now, I will also be successful.

- *** Really weird part. I didn’t mention anything about my past relationships yet. But she started talking about my love life. She said that I was living with someone but we broke up. I was confused because I thought she meant Nick (since we’re practically living together as he sleeps at my place almost every night). So I told her that I’m still dating Nick. She gave me a weird look and said, “No, you guys already broke up. A while already too. And you were really hurt.” I just stared at her. The fortune teller continued, “The Thai one.” I think at this point I felt really weird, but I did tell her that we did break up. She said that my current boyfriend is a foreigner and he is very good to me. He is good looking, easy going, loves music and art. She said that if I’m with this one, I will be very happy. (How did she know I’m dating a foreigner?)

- She said that my children will be very good and rich. However, I won’t have many as I will have miscarriages. If I manage to keep the first one, he will be a boy. I will lose my second and third. My fourth will be a daughter. (And I wanted 5 kids!)

- My current job is stable. If I want to do something on my own, she suggested I do it as a sideline job. She said be careful about jealousy amongst co-workers.

- *** Kind of weird part. I asked whether I should change jobs since there might be an opportunity for me to work abroad doing something similar. She suggested that I shouldn’t change jobs now because new beginnings aren’t good for me this year. However, she said that if I do change, the new job will be just as good or even better. She said I will grow and earn more money. Still, there may be trouble with senior level colleagues so she wants me to change jobs next year instead of this year because I will receive support from my co-workers and boss then. I found this weird because I know this job will give me a lot of opportunity to grow, but I can also imagine having "some" trouble with this "future" boss from what my friends have already told me about her. I also imagine that I should be earning more considering it's an international post.

- I asked about Nick and what he thought of me. She said that he’s good looking, has sixth sense, is sensitive and really loves me. He’s a hardworking person. But he should be careful about falling from high places, car accidents with fire and hot water. Also, there might be a possibility that he will go abroad, may be for work, so we could be separated. Or it could be me that is moving abroad. She said that he's definitely thinking of starting a life with me and that there's new beginnings written all over. But she said there are still obstacles, for example, his health, where he is with life currently, and financially. Anyway, she said I won't get married this year.

- She said that in any relationship that I’m in, it will be fragile.

- Mother and father are OK.

- *** Pretty weird part! She said my brother is gay. (I think she’s definitely wrong here, but you never know…)

- *** Somewhat weird. I won’t have a huge wedding. It will just be registration. This is weird because I actually thought about not having a wedding before. I told my mom that I didn't want a wedding and she yelled at me and said that was absurd, unspeakable and would be disgraceful to the family.

- I can buy a condo now if I want (she said she sees me living in a luxurious condo and I was telling her I have no money! She said I’ll make the money soon.)

Anyway, I'm probably going to buy some lottery tickets this week. If I win, I will let you know!
